STAYS OVERNIGHT AT A SMALL INN #48

At
the end of the twelfth month, the Master, continuing his prostrations,
reached the T'ieh Hsieh crossing on the Yellow River. He passed by the
tomb of Kuang Wu where there were not monasteries, and so there was no
choice but to spend the evening at an inn. This was on the first of the
month. The walking then became extraordinarily bleak and bitter, and
making prostrations while climbing mountains and crossing rivers was even
more difficult yet. The writer has also had this experience in the past,
coming from afar in Manchuria travelling ten thousand miles in search of a
clear teacher.
